Finding quality meat birds has been a real challenge. ( Of the heritage kind that is.)

Quote: Is there such thing as construction methods to withstand tornados??

Quote: We cook at lot here, just for that reason. Always too many pots and pan that still need washing. . . worth it though if in 90 years from now my kids are still mentally spry!! ( THey help with the dishes these days-- though I'm not sure their assistance gets them done faster! )

The problem is with the strength of the tornado like the size of the earthquake.

Nothing gets hurt here with 4 earthquakes. Buildings are built to take up to a 7. The houses are designed to shake, so things like the roof is not attached too well so low strength torpedoes will rip the roof off of a house. Then if there is downpour of rain the house is toast.

Strong of either will destroy both styles of building of course.

I can imagine even low strength torpedoes doing damage

Yes! A weak tornado touched down in Williams about 5 years ago and pulled the roof off of a house.

I thoroughly enjoy teasing goats with cookies. Both these goats are Hoovers. I especially love how Caramel's face is contorted, smashed up next to Pippy's.



They act like I've never fed them.

Hope everyone's okay with the crazy weather going on.

We do not make many houses in California out of concrete. Those that are are made to withstand earthquakes.

Building Material is one way to build for Earthquakes.
